Jesuit Retreat House Spanish Preached Retreat Made Possible Thanks to Catholic Foundation Grant

Nearly 20 years ago, the Catholic Foundation and the Diocese of Green Bay began the Advancing the Mission capital campaign with a goal of supporting our parishes, and establishing endowments for leadership development, lifelong catechesis, priestly retirement care and evangelization.
